Note: This may cause brushes to become misaligned on the grid. Note: This may cause brushes to become misaligned on the grid.Īctor Rotate: The Actor Rotate tool enables you to rotate an actor or brush on all three axes from a single viewport. It can also be used as an easy way to align meshes onto the current grid.Īctor Scaling: Allows you to resize brushes or actors, each dimension can be resized independently from the others, it does not have to be a uniform scale. Vertex Editing: Enables vertex editing mode making it easier to manipulate the vertices of BSP brushes.
Other construction tools allow you to move freely but have other options available as well. This is useful for testing and seeing what your level looks like when being played directly in the engine, because although UnrealEd uses the same renderer some differences can occur.Ĭamera Movement: Allows you to move the camera freely in any viewport without affecting anything in your map. Play Map: This saves the current map, and loads it into SWAT 4 to begin playing. You can either rebuild all lights, or rebuild changed lights, them being light actors added or altered since the last build.īuild Paths: Paths are made from a number of different actors, and rebuilding them will create paths for the AI to navigate around your map.īuild All: This will rebuild you entire map based on your rebuild settings, by default this causes the geometry, lighting, and paths to be rebuilt.īuild Options: This allows you to change your current rebuild options that will be used to rebuild your level when a "Rebuild All" is invoked. You will probably only use it to preview animations even though it is a very powerful tool for animation modellers.īuild Geometry: This will rebuild the geometry, being all of the brushes, to create the BSP for your map.īuild Lighting: Rebuilding the lights will render the light settings for all of the lights in your map. Note: It may be useful to retain prefabs for future use.Īnimation Browser: This browser displays very detailed information about animations for meshes and other skeletal structures. Once inserted the data is copied into the Map Package meaning the Prefab Package is no longer required. Prefab Browser: Here you can create predefined groups of actors and/or brushes to be reused later in your map. Note: The Mesh Browser (Eye Icon) doesn't seem to be supported by SWAT 4. Static meshes cannot have any animations associated with them, hence the name, meaning they cannot move.
Static Mesh Browser: The Static Mesh Browser (Arch) allows you to view static meshes and add them to your map you can also edit some properties, for example its textures. You can also add new textures to existing packages, or create a completely new package for them. Texture Browser: This browser allows you to open the Texture Packages and search for textures to use in your map. umx package format is no longer supported. Note: The Music Browser (Music Note) is obsolete because the. SWAT 4 also uses a lot of streamed audio files that are not kept in Sound Packages.
Sound Browser: The Sound Browser (Speaker) enables you to play sounds stored in Sound Packages. You can also hide specific groups from view within the editor, which is useful to avoid clutter. Group Browser: Here you can group actors together normally they will be related in some way, this enables you to find certain actors quickly. Any place-able classes can be added to your map as an actor (An instance of a class). Class Browser: This browser shows all of the classes currently loaded into the editor, from here you can load and edit classes.
